HEUNG YEE KUK ORDINANCE - PREAMBLE

Preamble

WHEREAS-

   (a)  the HEUNG YEE KUK has in the past served as a valuable advisory body
        to the Government on New Territories affairs and has been a forum
        where leaders of opinion in the Territories have been able to exchange
        views; and

   (b)  it is now considered desirable that the HEUNG YEE KUK should become a
        statutory advisory body with a constitution so framed as to ensure
        that it will as far as possible be truly representative of informed
        and responsible opinion in the New Territories:
